COLLEGE PRAYER SPECIALISM OF SUCCESS
PRAYER FOR MOTHERS DAY God our Creator, we pray: for new mothers, coming to terms with new responsibility; for expectant mothers, wondering and waiting; for those who are tired, stressed or depressed; for those who struggle to balance the tasks of work and family; for those who are unable to feed their children due to poverty; for those whose children have physical, mental or emotional disabilities; for those who raise children on their own; for those who have lost a child; for those who care for the children of others; for those whose children have left home; and for those whose desire to be a mother has not been fulfilled. Bless all mothers, that their love may be deep and tender, and that they may lead their children to know and do what is good, living not for themselves alone, but for God and for others. Amen.
All Hallows celebrated Chinese New Year in style in February. Students performed a fashion show which celebrated the diverse ethnic groups which make up the population of China. The video is available to view on the school website. Café Bernard served a range of delicious Chinese food for the week. We are thrilled this year to be able to offer Mandarin in the 6th form from September 2015.

ECO FACTS
Each year, more than 350 million inkjet and laser cartridges are thrown away. Each year, 35 million cell phones are disposed of around the world. Paper can account for as much as 60% of school waste in the UK in 2014 Preventing one ton of paper waste saves between 15 and 17 trees Plastic requires 100 to 400 years to break down in a landfill Recycling one aluminum beverage can saves enough energy to run a 100-watt bulb for 20 hours, a computer for three hours, or a TV for two hours.
